Hernandez, a New England Patriot, has been linked to the death of his girlfriend’s sister’s boyfriend, Odin Lloyd, who was shot “execution style” in an industrial park less than a mile from Henandez’s home in North Attleboro, Massachusetts.

ABC News has reported that people with knowledge of the investigation have said Hernandez destroyed his cell phone and surveillance videos from the cameras at his home, and that his mansion was cleaned hours after police believe Odin was killed.
